Carbidizing Domino Flipper

I carbidized the titanium clip on my Manix 2 this morning.
I first applied it to the feather outline on theoriginalspaceman's featherlight clip but the carbide doesn't provide an aggressive enough grip in that small area so I carbidized the entire clip. Looks pretty good but filling it in was a little difficult. My guess is that it was the heat anodize I did a while back and that kept the tungsten carbide from making good contact. A little perseverance and it was completed.

It does provide a little more traction and matches the satin S30V blade so it has some aesthetic appeal as well as practical.

That's awesome. How many people have asked to carbidize their components now?

Thanks.
A few folks have inquired but I'm not a service provider here so I politely declined. I'm in the process of putting a few things together and maybe do a little work for others in the future. Till then I'll enjoy improving my own. :)
